Done Nursing/Pumping

I had wanted to be done nursing/pumping at the end of November but it took a little longer than that to stop. During November, I slowly cut down to 1 morning, 1 afternoon and 1 evening pump and nursing Megan at lunch. It didn't take long at that point for Megan to decide she only wanted bottles. And not only did she only want bottles, she had to hold them herself. I think she didn't like nursing anymore because she wanted to be independent and that was ok with me; I understand that she is growing up. That brought me down to 3 pumps a day. Over Thanksgiving, I got pretty sick at Shawn's parents house and I cut down to 1 pump in the morning and 1 pump in the evening. Once I got better and the milk started to come back I slowly cut down to 0 pumps a day. I do admit I have had to pump for a few minutes every couple of days to relieve the pressure and I have been using lots of ice. When I do pump, I have been getting less than an ounce. So I think it is safe to say that within the next few weeks, the milk should be gone. Now let's just hope the freezer doesn't die!!! We have approx 1500 ounces in the outside freezer plus a few shelves full in the inside freezer.
